Everytime i try to draw something in raster level, nothing happens. I want to use different colors, so toonz raster level and vector level isn't good for me.

Hi,
To get useful help you have to give a useful context for your problem, like steps to reproduce your problem, etc.
Honestly it's hard to grasp the kind of problem you might be having just from the bare description you gave.

This report is from 4 days ago and you've not replied yet, so I don't know if you're checking for a response here, but just in case you do, my advice is to share screenshots of when you have a problem. It will make it so much easier to get help.

Seems to work just fine in all layers as well as color changes.

Not sure what the problem is with raster without more info. However, you can use different colors in all the level types. With the vector/toonz raster you need to create multiple styles in order to have multiple colors. Just click on the + in the level panel to add a new swatch:

It's better to do that with raster too, so that you can easily reuse a color when needed.

Lol. Well if someone is new to OT, there are probably several different things that could be going on. It might be:
  • The wrong brush type for the level
  • A smudge/erasing brush
  • Alpha locked in the brush tool options
  • Erase turned on in the brush tool options
  • Trying to draw with a transparent or white color that won't show up due to the camera bg color
  • Mirroring/multiple display alignment issue
Hard to say without more info. Hopefully they figured it out.
